Saddam Hussein asked Indira Gandhi to name his son. She named him Uday Hussein.

In another case, Colonel Gaddafi criticised India in 1971 war & one of his diplomat did something out of protocol in Hyderabad. Indira was angry with Gaddafi. He sent his wife & kids to India to meet Indira and invite her on Libya visit to normalise relations.

Diplomacy comes from a position of power and respect.

Salesforce spent a year getting dumped by investors because Claude was supposed to kill it. Then the stock jumped 20% in a single day, on the back of Claude.

Here's the trade Benioff actually made while everyone was writing SaaS obituaries.

The stock slumped 21% last year as the "SaaSpocalypse" narrative took hold. AI agents would replace enterprise software, and Salesforce, the biggest enterprise software company on earth, was the biggest target. Analysts were openly saying only two companies would matter in five years, and neither was a SaaS company.

Benioff's response was to buy a piece of his own disruptor.

Salesforce invested in Anthropic early. Last quarter that stake produced a $2.6B gain, which pushed adjusted earnings past $5.90 a share, and $2.53 of that came from strategic investments. Read that again. The company that was going to destroy Salesforce is now one of the largest contributors to Salesforce's earnings.

Then he wired the disruptor into the product. Claudeforce puts Claude inside Agentforce, makes it the default model in Slack, and launches a 37-skill Salesforce plugin inside Claude itself. Salesforce buys $300M of Anthropic tokens. Anthropic runs on Salesforce as its CRM. Each company is the other's customer.

And for the first time in its 27-year history, Salesforce attached its "force" suffix to another company's name.

The structure is a perfect hedge. If AI erodes SaaS slowly, Salesforce sells the AI. If AI valuations keep exploding, Salesforce's stake prints earnings. The faster Claude grows, the more money Salesforce makes. Benioff turned his extinction risk into a line item on his income statement.

That handshake is what a hedged bet looks like when both legs pay off.

A press conference!

It will be interesting to see if Rahul Gandhi adds more pressure on the government by increasing his interaction with the press in settings like this.

How long can any PM go without a press conference if the opposition has a new one every week or so?
